VIDEO | Filmmaker Nagraj Manjule, the director behind hits such as "Fandry", "Sairat" and "Jhund", says his foray on OTT with Vijay Varma-starrer “Matka King” wasn’t a calculated move but a creative shift after hit fantasy drama “Game of Thrones” showed him the unique potential of long-form storytelling.
“There was no such thing as to whether I should do it or not to do it (make OTT show). When this idea came, I was like, ‘Let's do it’. When I met Sid (Siddharth Roy Kapur, producer) sir, he said he was also thinking of this subject. We were already working on it with Ashwini ji (Sidhwani, producer), Ashish ji (Aryan, writer) and me. So, we worked on it together, Amazon liked it very much, and the work started,” Manjule told PTI in an interview.
"I’ve seen ‘Game of Thrones’, it was the first (show) I watched. I watched it during lockdown. Before that, I didn't watch much. Many people told me to watch this show. When I saw it, I enjoyed it a lot. I realised it (OTT) has a different strength. When you watch it, you keep (binge) watching a long story. So, I had liked the show, ‘Game of Thrones’,” he added.
